History

Body format Schwarzenegger. In top condition, appearance modified by surgery,
but still very hairy. Hard, sharp-edged face in square format. Short d'blonde
hair in military cut, always three-day beard. Large snub nose and symmetrical
eyes (made by surgery), one blue-green, the other blue-gray. No warts in
the face, but instead many of them in the neck and all above the rest of
the body. A colored, high-quality tattoo of a spider covers lower neck
and the entire back.

A warrior type. Strong, wolfpack-oriented, takes dominant position in
battle. In normal situations a jolly pal, drinks like a fish, a good buddy,
good-humoured, and he is game for anything. Strong military codex, unsensible,
cruel, rough and hard, but not unfair. A good warrior has his respect.
Cannot stand dandelion eaters and norms, but is on good terms with dwarves.
He views women who are no warriors as inferiour.

Weaknesses: Codex, wodka, ready to run high risks, spends money
like water.

His Cyberleg has a Robocop-like device for keeping his weight
7 kg Browning Ultra Power which is equipped with a grenade launcher,
micro rocket laucher, dart thrower, shock pad, gas vents, ultrasound sight,
infrared, internal smartlink and standard laser marker. The cyberleg was
implanted during his army service and is a second hand part, but he doesnt
know this.

Grown up as the only son of a human army officer in the Moscow megaplex.
His mother was an insignificant but good-looking starlet working for a
cheap moscowitan trid production. She disappeared practically immediately
after his birth. Iwan spends most of his time with his father, his best
friend Sergej Dalienko and a friend of his father, the army surgeon
Mikael
Mirnov, lungering around at military schools, canteens, military sports
grounds, or in the large plex jungle of Moscow.

Iwan and Sergej join the military at age 9. Both become magically active
at age 12, Iwan as hermetic conjurer and Sergej as hermetic sorcerer. At
age 14 they are already members of a specially trained elite assault unit
where only magically active soldiers are doing service. All members of
the unit have a spider tattoo on lower neck and the whole back as the sign
of this unit. All soldiers are lightly cybered.

At age 15 Iwan goblinizes and transforms into an ork. Frightened at
the beginning, he soon learns to appreciate his new strength and stamina.
But all soldiers of the elite team except Sergej turn away from him. After
a not really coincidental "accident" on a mission he gets his messed up
right leg replaced by a cyber leg. Mikael installs a few additional goodies.
After recovery he wrecks revenge upon the guilty team members, but he doesnt
kill anybody.

The strife escalates when his father is let down intentionally by the
other team members and dies in the course of events. Iwan kills all members
of his fathers team, the ringleader of hatred in his unit and vanishes
by seizing a Mirage, heading toward the UCAS. The UCAS military shoots
his Mirage down just before Seattle, but he can escape using the ejection
seat.

It is two days later in Seattle where Iwan gets back in touch with Sergej
and Mikael. Using Mikaels connections, he enters the shadow biz. Only three
weeks later Sergej and Mikael arrive in Seattle as the unit makes life
a living hell for them. Both of them join the UCAS army and are very welcome
as magic elite soldiers. Iwan rejects this idea and continues to build
his career as self-employer. Thanks to his military skills and experience
he becomes a much-in-demand mercenary and shadowrunner within shortest
time.

Postscript: He now knows his cyberleg is second hand ware.

Postscript: After a magical incident Iwan has gleaming red eyes
to the extent that he can use them as reading lamp in the dark. He therefore
uses mirrored sun glasses with surround sight most of the time.

Postscript: After some shocking events in Seattle, Iwan currently
lives in Berlin, ADL.
